Aristotle’s thought is of crucial significance for the young Heidegger in the early 1920s. The Physics forms the touchstone of this re-appropriation in view of the concept of movement,which Heidegger hermeneutically radicalized and deepened as the factical structure of “moved-ness”. The simulataneously operative deconstruction of the substantial and “physical” premisses of Aristotelian ontology allows him to quickly discover the limits of such a model,particularly through the concealing of the metabolic understanding and disclosing through the human Dasein. Only through such a deconstructive movement can the interpretation of the Physicsthen open up the actual historical possibility of disclosing-beyond Aristotle-the unthought foundation of traditional ontology.
